| Description | As part of a legal battle with a rival firm, computer networking giant Cisco convinced the US government to have the opposing CEO arrested in Canada—where he faced a bizarre one-year battle to free himself. The Kafka-esque story was enough to "make the average well-informed member of the public blanche at the audacity of it all," said the Canadian judge handling the case.
The entire incident, in his opinion, was a planned and deliberate act by Cisco with the collusion of the US prosecutors to transform a minor civil complaint into a criminal charge requiring 500 years imprisonment. All the US had to do was let Adekeye into the country, Justice McKinnon said, but instead astoundingly misled Canada into launching expensive legal proceedings. |
